At the close of the day's business ‘at the banks the subscriptions listed were crowding the $260,000 mark and more orders for bonds were coming almost as steadily as the clocks tick- ed. But for the few hours that re- main before the closing of the books at noon today there will be an inces- sant drum fire of appeal to those who have not yet put themselves on rec- ord’ as with Uncle Sam against anybody who challenges his right to live in the light of liberty and demo- cracy. ‘“Tve bousht a Liberty bond” will be the proud slogan that every subscriber may utter some day a few weeks or a few months hence, when inspiring storles of American victor- jes in France come to cheer the folks back home and with it will be the feeling that I am really somebody in the greatest brotherhood on earth. “Make our apportionment 275,000" was the call here Thursday. FLAG DAY EXERCISES Take on Unusual Significanse as Held in Local Sehools. Flag day exercises were heid. in Killing _school Thursdey and ‘were jore than usually impressive because of the shadow of war.

Putnam’s Liberty Loan subscriptions shot up over the $300,000 marlk Thurs- day afternoon and the oversubserip- tion continued in a surprising way, setting the pace for the whole coun- ty. It is possible that Putnam's g tionment of $218,000 will be® over- subseribed by fuily $100,000 before the books close today at noon. ‘Hundreds of mill operatives in this and surrounding towns have taken to buying the bonds with an enthusizsm that is little less than amazing, Scor- es of them flled applications for the issue on Thursday and the bank forc- es-in town were kept. on the jump to meet the demand made upon their services by those who want to lend their money to Uncle Sam. G. Harold Gilpatric said late in the afternoon that he could not give the exact amount of Putnam’s subscrip- tion, for it was changing from hour to hour, but it was over $300,000. At the Putnam Savings Bank Treasurer Daniel J. Byrne said that the institution’s force hadq been very busy thrcughout the day receiving sub- scriptions for the loan, which is being taken here with a liberality that has growny apace since the first of the week. ‘The largest subscription from the employes of any one manufacturjng concern is $28,250, by the operatives of the Grosvenordale company, operating mills in the Grosvenordales.

The Manhasset Manufacturing _company’s _emploves have taken $12,150, Hammond, Knowl- ton and company’s $6,000, ' Putnam Woolen_company’s $8,000. Thousands of dollars more were being subscribed Thursday by the emploves of the Morge-Nightingale corporation and other -mills in the city.

Bedard, pastor of St. Mary’s parish, made known that the church has received a gift of $475, for the purchase of a statuary group of four figures, representing the Cruci- fixion, to be erected in St. Mary’s cem- etery.

Theé figures are to be of cement ard are te be placed in position In the cemetery some time next fall. The rift is from Mr. and Mrs. Nar- clsse Leclair. Colored Giants Coming For Game. Something big in baseball has been arranged for Putnam fans by the man- agement of the local team. Next Sun- day the Colored Giants of New Haven will be- here to meet the Putnam team on the old Fair Grounds, where a splendid baseball field has been de- veloped. The New Haven fcam that comes here Sunday is made up of dusky vers who claim the title of New iirgland champions. Their record for 1516 season was 43 games won out of 44 played, which was going some, expecinlly agairst the teams of class that took the beaiings. The . dusky plavers have in their I'neup spme of the greatest players in baseball, and cnly the drawing of the color line kecis them out of the big show in baseball. Such a wonderful aurler as Cannon- ball Redding, who has pitched here several times during the past three years, is authority for the statement that Culver, shortstop of the Colored Giants, and who will be in the lineup here, is the greatest man in his posi- tion in baseball, barring no star how- ever great. ‘Che Putnam playets will have their work cut out for them Sunday, but they expect to go right in theri and Lring home the bacon. Trolley Lines Inspected.

C. merly of this city, who enlisted in the Canadian expedition forces and is now fighting againsi the kai- ser and his cohorts in France. The checks were drawn on the Ca- nadian government, represented two months' pay and were the first of the kind seen in Putnam. Speclal Children’s Day Pragram. The Children’s Day service at the Second Congregational church here Sunday will in many ways be sugges- tive of the tercentenary of the Land- ing of the Pilgrims, and promises to be of special historic Interest. The_service has been arranged by Mrs. Bdgar M. Warner, superintend- ent of the primary department of the Bible school. Children dressed in Colonial cos- tume will tell the story of the Pil- grims.
